Image
Donald Trump brands E. Jean Carroll a 'nut job' following trial verdict | Dr Thomas Gift reacts And Thomas Trump does seem to be the gift that keeps on giving in terms of political analysis. Absolutely. And you know, in terms of the politics, Trump did, I think last night, exactly what he wanted to do. He's in the midst of a Republican primary. He wants to play to his base. And so that's what he did. He threw red meat to them on January 6th on allegations of a stolen election, even called the moderator, Caitlin Collins, a nasty person on stage. And you could see from the reactions of the crowd, which was Republican primary voters, his supporters were really lapping it up. So yeah, I mean, Trump is certainly the gift that keeps on giving for political commentary. And maybe there are some at CNN just wondering whether they did the right thing in the right place at the ...

Trump town hall: 'He's making light of rape and sexual assault'

Image
Trump town hall: 'He's making light of rape and sexual assault' I won twice and I did much better the second time than I did the first. Getting millions and millions more votes in 2020 than we got in 2016. I think we saw what everyone expected we would see, which is Donald Trump unfiltered, which is, you know, his default position. And I think there is no journalist at CNN that really could have stopped him when he starts filibustering on these issues. I'm, you know, I'm not sure why CNN decided to do this. They could have just as easily covered one of his, you know, rally's live. I think it would have been the exact same result in the same content. So I'm not sure that this is really a town hall in the way that American voters have come to expect town halls to be. What else can you expect from a Trump hating Clinton appointed judge who went out of his wa...
